This novel has nothing to with the John Carpenter directed HALLOWEEN, nor the Curtis Richards novelization of same. Both in any event are preferable to this tedious attempt at horrific suspense, set, as the title portends, on Halloween.
The nuttiest of the HALLOWEEN sequels, a Michael Myers-less something-or-other involving computers, Stonehenge, androids and deadly masks.
This is the original HALLOWEEN II, not the inexcusable Rob Zombie one—even though this one’s pretty rotten, as its co-writer/producer John Carpenter admits.
One of the most iconic horror films of all time, and the most famous ever made by John Carpenter.
Five books called Halloween. That’s all.
Norman Partridge is a California-based writer who made a huge splash with his debut novel SLIPPIN’ INTO DARKNESS back in 1996. In the ensuing years he’s only returned to the genre sporadically, but Partridge’s excursions into horror are always worth waiting for. Case in point: DARK HARVEST, an absolutely stunning short novel that serves up a veritable banquet of up-to-date splatter and old fashioned chills.
This debut novel by the talented Benjamin Kane Ethridge can’t be said to lack ambition or originality. It runs 422 pages and doesn’t contain any vampires, zombies or serial killers. What it does have is a richly imagined, wide-ranging mythology, packed into a narrative that can’t be adequately summarized in a single sentence.
This snappy paperback short story collection is a good sampling of author Amy Grech’s talents.
The latest volume from the irrepressible Jeani Rector (of AFTER DARK, OPEN GRAVE and AROUND A DARK CORNER fame) was this anthology culled from her self-created Horror Zine (www.thehorrorzine.com).
A medium-strength Richard Laymon novel. It’s quite typical of his eighties-era novels (particularly NIGHT SHOW and FUNLAND) with its alternately horny and murderous cast of teens afoot in the latter days of October, inter-spaced with equally questionable adults and an unseen killer.
